Its so important to cook yourself because then you know exactly what goes in your food, the amount of salt, sugar and where your products come from, is it seasonal or local. In the Usa they use more and more organic products which is so much more healthy...so no antibiotics in the meat, fish fresh from the ocean or river so not farm raised.....we get so much processed food in our life, I believe that's what's making us sick.
In Suriname an average person eats very healthy and organic. The farmers here do not use antibiotics or hormones for their meats, the veggies grow without pesticides most of the stuff they sell here comes from someones garden. Unfortunately but true is that Suriname people now explore...Popeyes, Burger King, wendy's Mac Donald and more USA food which is horrible for them, they think its status and epic because it comes from the states....all bullshit ...the meat coming from the states is processed and full of antibiotics and hormones....while you are used to great and healthy food....stick to what you have eat local and seasonal.
